will soon move to new headquarters in
Mirabel, Quebec.
Construction of the facility began in October 2008, and the
25,000-square-foot structure contains
nearly 6,000 square feet for offices and
meeting and training rooms.
A number of green building approach-es have been incorporated into the design,
such as the liberal use of glass, which will
let in abundant sunlight and lessen the
need for electric lighting.
The headquarters also include a
6,000-square-foot showroom where
Biesse and Intermac machines will be
demonstrated at in-house events.
Mirabel was chosen as a location for
its easy access to freight transportation.
